EDIT:
RESOLVED: THANKS splitpea
Hi,
I am fairly inexperienced with web development and am trying to bring myself up to speed. I have done a layout for my personal website and am having problems with the div backgrounds.
I have a "container" div that wraps around all of my content. I set it's background color to white. Internet Exploder 7 and Dreamweaver's preview render this how I want it to be seen. Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and IE 8 do not.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Whit
